Specifications:

This is the boat you want to buy if you have a budget that can afford it.

Gel coat is shiny like a brand new boat. Bow Thruster, Electronic controls, Swim platform hydraulic lift, rebuilt davit, One recent engine, the other fully serviced, there’s never been another 490 like this one.

In the ownership of her second owner who purchased her through me from her original owner in May 2015, then directly taken on her bottom to the buyers home in Illinois. Come May 2017, She’s obviously back in Florida, and now has a new generator, plus other equipment, and decor. She had lived on the Caloosahattchee River since new. You can see her freshwater history in the photos of her seacocks in the engine room, and all her machinery. She has newer Strata-glass on the enclosure and a newer Stamoid top. She does have a recent cockpit enclosure (for Illinois weather) She has two (2) new (2014) GPS/Chart Plotters that show radar/gps, maps, video, and even television. her SS Delta anchor is STILL like new. She has new carpet throughout. Her upholstery is excellent.

I would like to point out that the reason her salon has none of the original seating, and table these vessels came with it- is that the original owner had a son in a wheelchair. Unfortunately he disposed of all the now valuable furniture a long time ago. Trust me, I asked for it. Those original table bases are hard to come by. I have a client who has an original salon table still in bubble wrap in his office, that he will sell, but I can’t find a base, and I check Marine Liquidators in Ft. Pierce regularly.

All records and receipts since new. The engines have been serviced (the port one replaced) by Cummins of Ft. Myers since new.

Engines: Cummins 330hp Port engine 950 hours-400 when purchased (the engine and transmission survey in 2015 discovered the dealer had sold him a 315hp, not a 330hp replacement engine.) Starboard engine; 2400 hours now (1900 hours when purchased),

Onan 13.5 KW Generator w/Sound Shield 3000hrs= When purchased- Apparently it has since been replaced with a new one. I remember the seller giving the buyer a $15k credit to do so.

It’s now a wine cooler.

Let me repeat it in case you missed it above. The reason there’s no original furniture in the salon was that the original owner whom these folks purchased her from had a son in a wheelchair. The boat has never been damaged in any way. Unfortunately all of that valuable furniture has been long disposed of.

Current Owner has conducted routine oil sampling;
